Bush 1206 Kerry 1190
:rollin
Here is what we also know from New Yorker Magazine and UPI in articles from January of 2004.
-- Bush's SAT scores are higher than Bill Bradley's, Paul Wellstone's, and John Kerry's.
-- Bush scored a 1206 on his SAT, 566 of 800 on verbal and 640 of 800 on math. [Since the SAT's scale has since been "recentered," Bush's score is more like a 1300 today.]
-- Bush's verbal score would place him between the 84th and 92nd percentile of college-bound students, or the 93rd to 97th percentile of ALL high-school seniors taking the exams, the percentile usually used.
-- His math score would also place him between the 84th and 92nd percentile of college-bound students, or the 94th to 98th percentile of ALL high-school seniors taking the exams, the percentile usually used.
-- Using one method to extract IQ's from these SAT scores, Bush's IQ would be somewhere between 124 and 137. Hardly a dunce, that's at least in the top six percent of Americans.
-- We all hear of Bush's supposed college mediocrity, but in reality his "worst" courses were two C-minus scores. Accounting for grade inflation, Bush's worst grades are around today's B-minuses.
Recentered SAT: 1300 IQ: 124-137 Stupid: Definately not.

Same here. I graduated first in my college class with a perfect 4.0 GPA and consistantly test high when it comes to IQ..but in certain situations come across as a total lug-head.
I have been known for cursing out, insulting and even physically attacking people (especially in my younger years) who make me angry. Especially lying liberal holes.
By the way, the liberal professors who gave me straight A grades seemed to like my solid convictions and never give up work ethic :)
You made need to be retested on the math section. :)
I was 1410, 800 Verbal/610 Math.
Good to see Al Franken and Jeanie Garofolo do "so well"
Considering Kerry graduated from Yale, why did he go to law school at Boston University rather than Harvard which is also in Boston?
>>>What subject do smart people struggle with the most?
I hear that 5 out of 4 people have problems with fractions...
Kerry's GPA from Yale was said to be a C-.
Do any of you folks know if Kerry and Bush took the GCT tests upon going military. Maybe they didn't since they were college grads but it would make an interesting bit of info.
What was the GCT test?
I like that explanation.
Probably didn't bother to attend class!!
Correct
MENSA accepts a variety of older tests and scores -
Based on GW Bush's college reputation as "Data Boy" I would place his IQ in the middle 150s or higher.
Jack Kennedy's IQ was 119
President Bush is result oriented
John Kerry takes credit for other's accomplishments and actions and his own fairy tales -
Recent examples are the posting of ex-Senator John Kerrey's "co-chair" on the Senate Intelligence Committee as his own on his official campaign website and the Silver Star with Combat "V" on his website; the latter a decoration the Pentagon and US Navy say is bogus as there is no "Combat V device" for a Silver Star and no legitmate military regulation or rule lists such a decoration for a Silver Star and John Kerry is the only person in American military history who is arrogant and stupid enough to still insist he had that actual Silver Star with Combat "V" device after being exposed as a self-promoting fake and a fraud.
P.S. Tell John Kerry I'll lease him 50 more IQ points with a combat "V" device for about a billion bucks.....
Bush has shown intelligence, character and wisdom, and that's why I pray he'll win the election. Kerry on the other hand has shown intelligence, deception, vascillation, and spiritual darkness, (as in "I'm a Catholic and I'm opposed to abortion, but I won't interfere with your right to have an abortion").
Just an aside, it's interesting that Kerry stated he was a "Catholic" in Friday's debate, and then said he would support abortion and embryonic stem cell research. The Pope has strongly condemned these evil practices, and has said that Catholic politicians who support abortion commit a grave sin. Kerry's actions and beliefs are a very poor representation of Catholicism, just as he's a very poor representation of an American Senator. He revels in the title but disgraces the institution.
The second most often misspelled, strangely enough, is relevant to this thread. Moron.
fuzzy math
I always thought I was pretty sharp. When I was a kid they gave my class an IQ test. A few days later the same guy who administered the test came by to take the "gifted" kids off to some sort of secret government program. I was packing up my books and readying my things as the names were being read off the list. Needless to say I was completely shocked when he skipped by my name. I thought there must have been a mistake. Still do. :-)
Because they don't know how to do Prime factorizations and build the least common multiple...and the subsequent steps ....
Are you saying this post is MORONIC? Or are you calling someone a MORON?
(Roughly) 1/4 of Ivy admits are legacies, 1/4 are recruited athletes and 1/4 are under-represented minorities (aka "URMs"). Leaving about 1/4 of the admission offers for "everyone else", the really smart kids, the valedictorian class president with the 1600 SAT, most of whom are actually rejected by the top Ivys today! Unless an applicant belongs in one of the first three classes above, Ivy admission, at least as far as Harvard, Yale and Princeton are concerned, is entirely a crapshoot!
Since Mr. Bush is a 3rd generation Yale legacy, yes, IMO he "could" be admitted with a 1206 SAT today, although that score would be pushing the envelope.
Neither. It's just that a discussion of intelligence reminded me of the word, which I so often see spelled here as "maroon." Have never been able to figure out why this is and have wondered if it is an inside joke of some kind, like "hugh" (for huge) and "series" (for serious).
